Introduction: Australian Bureau of agricultural resources and economy (ABARE) said recently that in 2001, Australia's rapeseed production decreased for the second consecutive year ABARE said in its quarterly report on crop conditions that despite improved weather in major rapeseed growing areas, it appears that rapeseed production is destined to be lower than in the previous year The total output will be reduced by 19% to 1.5 million tons, and the output of the previous year will be further reduced NSW's canola production is expected to decline by 33% to 600000 tons, a sharp decline due to weather "Several frosts in October damaged crops in the central and southern regions where there was more rainfall, reducing crop yields by about 10 percent in the affected areas," ABARE reported In Western Australia, due to drought, rapeseed production is expected to be only about 380000 tons However, the average yield per unit area and good oil content are expected to make up for the delay in sowing this year In South Australia, rapeseed production is expected to decline by 11% to 195000 tons, while in Victoria, production is expected to decline by 8% to 370000 tons (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
